About this episode
In this episode, we talk with Will Tope, Chief Commercial Officer at LiNa Energy, about the company’s novel battery technology designed for long-duration energy storage. Will explains how LiNa’s lithium-sodium chemistry and ceramic electrolyte address the safety, cost, and thermal limitations of traditional lithium-ion batteries, enabling simpler heat management and scalable, low-cost manufacturing rooted in fuel cell expertise. We also discuss the growing demand for long-duration storage to capture low-carbon power, LiNa’s progress toward commercialization, and why energy storage has become a top investment priority for corporate venture capital.
